It’s been nearly a month since the failed coup in Turkey, in which a group of military officers attempted to seize power and more than 270 people were killed.
Following the attempt, President Erdoğan’s government instigated a clampdown, with tens of thousands of officials arrested, detailed, fired or suspended. As well as members of the military, the clampdown has included policemen, judges, prosecutors, teachers, governers, university deans and journalists.
The country has also suffered from a spate of terrorist attacks, the latest on Wednesday blamed on Kurdistan Workers’ party militants in the south-east of the country.
More than a million Turks gathered in Istanbul on Sunday for an anti-coup rally headed by President Erdoğan.
